Talk:Giraffe fighting

Proposed merge with Giraffe

This should be a part of the Giraffe behavior section, not seeing why this should be a standalone article at this point Hell In A Bucket (talk) 18:54, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

It should be deleted not merged into the FA Giraffe. The information in this article is mostly fluff. LittleJerry (talk) 19:54, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

I do agree to some extent that this should be a part of the Giraffe section. However, I think the page contains some really good and interesting information. I definitely would keep this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.6.104.161 (talk) 20:08, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Most of the information is already covered in the article. LittleJerry (talk) 20:10, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Although I do agree that there is a lot of information that is similar to that of the Giraffe page, I do feel that the information which has been provided by this page goes into greater detail than already available. I feel by deleting this page it would disadvantage the users of wikipedia who want a greater in depth knowledge of the specifics of giraffe fighting. Cow tipping another successful wikipedia page has not been merged with the page on cows so I personally feel due to the content on the subject and to unique way in which the animals fight, it would be disadvantaging our users to remove or merge this page. munn199520:15, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, that's not how wiki works. If the giraffe fighting section got so big that it needed to be split off it would be different. That's not the case. LittleJerry (talk) 20:28, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

I think you will find though that you have said it should be deleted when actually if it is not "Big enough" it should just be merged as part of the giraffe page there is no need for it to be totally disregarded especially due to the lack of information on the Giraffe page itself. Many users would take great benefit from a different page as it provides a great amount of information on the topic making it easier to understand as you do not need to go through the giraffe information first. Especially after the success of BBC 1's Africa in which giraffe fighting was seen by many who had not witnessed it before creating a greater interest in it. Therefore to totally disregard the topic, as you have said you feel it should be deleted, would be unfair to giraffe enthusiasts and other prospective users. munn1995 20:35, 7 November (UTC)

Following wiki policies is not "unfair". LittleJerry (talk) 20:41, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

I do not understand why it should be totally disregarded as a topic and why you feel it should be completely deleted. Why should it not even be merged in your opinion? Also although you want to follow wiki policies is the purpose of wikipedia not to provide information what its users want, and I as a user of wikipedia am interested in the unique art of giraffe fighting as are many others and I would feel disadvantaged if this topic was completely disregarded munn1995 20:45, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

The topic is not completely disregarded because its already in the article. I don't mind a merging as long as it is a simple redirect. LittleJerry (talk) 21:58, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
